Heat-Treated High Chromium Balls
The high-chromium ball plant operates three production lines, all situated at our Germiston site. Balls are produced with different chemistries, with chrome contents ranging from 11% to 32% and sizes ranging from 17mm to 100mm. Different heat-treatment cycles are used to impart specific metallurgical properties depending on the intended application. Whether the predominant wear mechanism is abrasion, corrosion or impact, Magotteaux Grinding Media SA can offer a product to suit.
Heat-treated high chromium balls production cycle:
- Scrap processing and charging
- Induction furnace operation
- Ball casting lines
- Shaker, breaker, sorting and heat treatment
- Mill test
- Dispatch
Heat-Treated Forged Steel Balls
All Magotteaux Grinding Media SA forged media are manufactured to international quality standards and the processes include a quench & temper stage for improved hardness & toughness, providing for excellent impact and wear performance.
The forged ball plant operates three production lines.
Smaller, roll formed balls from 38mm-76mm are manufactured on our state-of-the-art roll-forming machine.
Larger balls from 90mm to 125mm are produced by an upset-forge process.
All processes include quenching and tempering cycles for improved toughness and hardness.
Further Optimisation
As part of the Magotteaux International partnership, Magotteaux Grinding Media SA has access to optimisation tools developed and marketed by Magotteaux International and proprietary of Magotteaux International.
These tools’ main goal is to further optimise the efficiency of mills as well as the downstream processing recovery.
Among these tools, we find:
- Magosense® (Online Pulp and Ball Filling)
- Magoload® (Automated Ball Loading)
- Magopulp® (Online Pulp Chemistry Monitoring)
Please contact our sales representatives for more information.
Magotteaux International is also a leader in wear resistant castings and mine liners. These often make part of our mill optimisation packages.
